About this position
STEG (Growth Research Platform / CEPR) is offering Small Research Grants and PhD Research Grants for policy-relevant research on development economics and related topics.
Small Research Grants are typically between £10,000 and £25,000 and can support research assistance, data collection and/or purchase, travel to field sites, and in some cases research stipends or teaching buyouts if well justified.
PhD Research Grants are available only to applicants currently enrolled in a PhD programme and can provide up to £15,000. These grants may fund research assistance, data collection and/or purchase, travel to field sites, and stipends. PhD stipends are capped at £12,000 for programmes in high-income countries and at the PPP equivalent for low- and middle-income countries.
Applications are welcomed from researchers worldwide, with a strong emphasis on relevance to low-income countries, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. Projects focused on middle- or high-income countries must clearly demonstrate policy relevance to specific low-income countries. STEG no longer funds work solely focused on India.
Eligibility for SRG principal investigators generally requires a PhD or current PhD enrolment, while co-investigators usually have a PhD or are enrolled in a PhD programme. Projects involving researchers based at Russian institutions are not accepted. For PhD calls, a supervisor support letter must be sent to [email protected] no later than two weeks after the deadline.
Grants are typically contracted for 12 months. Institutional overheads may be reimbursed only when an institutional contract is required, up to a flat rate of 20% of the total grant award.
Applicants should use the STEG proposal and budget templates and consult the applicant guide, budget guidelines, FAQs, and country list before applying.

Applicants to PhD Research Grants must be currently enrolled in a PhD programme and provide a letter of support from their PhD supervisor no later than two weeks after the deadline.

Co-investigators usually have a PhD or are enrolled in a PhD programme. Applications from researchers worldwide are welcome, but projects involving researchers based at Russian institutions are not accepted. Proposals should demonstrate policy relevance to low-income countries, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa, and projects focused on middle- or high-income countries must clearly justify relevance to specific low-income countries.
